Is Inflation Eating Away Your Wealth? Michael Saylor Says Bitcoin Is The Solution.
Michael Saylor, former CEO and current chairman of MicroStrategy, is a well-known proponent of Bitcoin (BTC), and one of his primary reasons in support of the flagship digital currency is that he believes it is a critical hedge against inflation. Saylor has been vocal about fiat currencies steadily losing value due to inflation, highlighting the risk of wealth erosion when holding traditional currencies, claiming that wealth is steadily devalued by inflationary pressures.
Saylor took to Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) to declare: ‘Inflation is the problem. Bitcoin is the solution.’ His stance stems from the belief that Bitcoin's limited supply (21 million coins) makes it resistant to the inflationary pressures that plague fiat currencies, which can be printed at will by central banks. Lyn Alden and Michael Saylor explain why this is the Bitcoin Century, emphasizing how Bitcoin protects from inflation & control.
MicroStrategy's significant investment in Bitcoin under Saylor's leadership reflects this belief. He advocates for individuals and institutions alike to adopt Bitcoin as a store of value, suggesting a shift from traditional assets like bonds and inferior equities. As he said, ‘Take your fiat currency, trade it for Bitcoin. Take your long-term capital and trade it for Bitcoin. Sell your bonds and trade [them] for Bitcoin. Sell your inferior equity, sell your’ assets and embrace Bitcoin.
The upcoming Bitcoin 2025 Conference will likely feature discussions on this very topic. Michael Saylor often speaks about how a conventional view of inflation as CPI understates the human misery that’s inflicted upon the working class and on mainstream society.

Many, including Michael Saylor, believe it is.
